Hi there,

Thanks in advance for your help. It's my first time using FME server and setting up an app. I want the end user to be able to upload a folder full of shapefiles or gpx files.

In Desktop, I have the parameters set up so the user can upload folders and the subfolders within it. I can't find this option in server. I see I can upload one file at a time, but that's not what I want. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

I want to capture all this info in the folder structure:

OperationName>Fieldworkername1>All the gpx and shapefiles

OperationName>Fieldworkername2>All the gpx and shapefiles

OperationName>Fieldworkername3>All the gpx and shapefiles

@keziaatsafe​ Thanks for your reply. I ended up chatting with support about this. I hadn't activated my parameters correctly in Desktop before I loaded it into Cloud. The plan is to load it in as a zipped folder.

Hi @epro_admin​ ,

 

From my understanding, it is not possible via Temporary Uploads, however you could do so via the Resources tab > Data folder and have the user create folders to place the gpx and shapefiles into.

ResourcesUploadHope this helps, let me know how it goes for you.
